LG 360 VR

The LG 360 VR is a virtual reality headset designed to connect with an external smartphone over a USB-C connection. It was introduced at Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona, intended to work with the LG G5.

The 360 VR supports Google Cardboard apps and 360 videos.

Hardware

The LG 360 VR uses dual 1080p OLED screens with a resolution of 639 ppi.

A USB-C cable is used to connect power and video, which frees the phone itself to be used as a controller for virtual reality applications and games. The glasses also have additional control buttons on top that are used for confirmations and as a "back" button.

Sound can be outputted through the 3.5mm headphone socket on the underside of the 360 VR headset.
